Powering off with a kernel in panic.
i had a kernel panic (AUX flashing red constantly) but i couldnt power it off or reboot my NF from power button. Is that a problem or the power button cant function independently from the kernel ?

However you can influence what happens after a panic with the panic=[timeout] boot parameter. Unless you are in a position to debug a panic you probably want it to reboot as soon as possible, so add panic=1 to your boot parameters.

Use the panic=60 boot option to make FR automatically reboot on panic after 60 seconds. -Timo ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
